Live weekly dashboard
Labor, revenue, and cost of sales against budget — with a monthly rollup and one-tap week drill-down.
For independent restaurants and small groups
Run the week.
Win the month.
Stop finding out on the 5th that last month was a loss. DiningMetrics replaces the Weekly Management Operations Report spreadsheet. Enter revenue, labor, invoices, and inventory from your phone — and watch prime cost update while the week is still yours to fix.
Fully interactive with realistic restaurant data. No sign-up, no card. Demo entries stay in your browser.

Questions
What managers
ask first
Do I need a POS integration?
No. Enter revenue each shift from your phone. It works alongside any POS, or none. The point is the weekly picture, not the ticket-level data.
Does it handle more than one location?
DiningMetrics is currently set up for a single location, with a data model designed to support more locations as your business grows.
Who owns the data?
You do. You retain the rights to the operational data you enter. Download budgets in Excel or CSV and reports in PDF.
Is the demo really free?
Yes, and it needs no sign-up. Everything you enter in demo mode stays in your own browser and is not saved to the live restaurant data.
What does it cost?
Pricing is being finalized. Explore the free interactive demo or create an account to get started.
